tinydot and Blot share the same idea: a folder should be a website. If you like that idea, either will treat you well. Here's how they differ.
The short version
Blot syncs a folder (via Dropbox, Git, or iCloud) and publishes it with template-driven theming. It's a paid product, mature and well-loved.
tinydot syncs through native Files app integration on Mac, iPhone, and iPad — the folder appears in Finder like iCloud Drive, no third-party sync service in the middle. Free to start.
When Blot fits better
- You want deep template customization (Blot's mustache templates are powerful)
- Your workflow is built around Dropbox or Git sync
- You want a long-established tool
When tinydot fits better
- You want native sync: the folder lives in Finder and the Files app, offline-capable, no Dropbox account
- You edit from iPhone or iPad as much as from the Mac
- You want access control — private sites for specific people
- You want version history for every file
- You want to import an existing site from a URL
Shared values
Both believe your writing should be plain files you own, in a folder, editable with any tool. No lock-in either way — which is exactly how it should be.
